Some things in life are guaranteed. Manor Solomon, given the chance to run at an opponent, will cut infield into his right foot. James Maddison, challenged in the box, will go to ground, sit up and spread his arms while looking plaintively at the referee. And Tottenham, just as optimism is beginning to sprout, will find a way to lose. Or will they?
Perhaps this is the true measure of what Ange Postecoglou has achieved: it took 15 minutes of injury-time, but from somewhere Spurs found two late goals to win a game that had seemed lost.
